Arnheim is an animated optical room, playing with the deceptions of visual perception, inspired by Rudolf Arnehim's Gestalt theory, according to which there is no objective reality, but only a perceived reality.

Creativity, like human life itself, begins in darkness. Exposing darkness means rediscovering the shape that each shadow brings along. Shadows made of images that chase each other and resurface for a few moments, and then vanish again in deep spaces. Depth increases the distortion of space and generates an ongoing negotiation with the perceived reality.

Terragenesi is a Data Driven Immersive Installation focused on the process of geological transformation of the earth as a response to the current phenomenon of global warming. The elaboration of numerous datasets, linked to the consequences of climate change, made it possible to deform real territories taken as a case study, defining a perceptible organic transformation. Through a virtual landscape, able to exploit data analysis and machine learning, graphs and algorithms are transformed into three-dimensional objects understandable to all.

"Ambivalence" represents the continuous inner debate between our rational part and the inner and intimate, multiple aspects of the same person and the same psyche that often are in contrast with each other and influence our way of thinking and acting, our choices , what we love and hate, our reactions and our way of thinking. In this context, "ambivalence" represents the continuous changing of the discourse, the evolution of the dialogue and the constant search for a balance.

A visual narrative inspired by Piranesi, an Italian architectural theorist, according to whom spatial proportions interpenetrate time, giving rise to a higher-order meaning. Piranesi constructs a reality, vision or intimate structure, in which time is conceivable neither as progress nor as repetition, but rather as a constellation, as an ever-expanding elastic network. The awareness of the passing of time, distressing and liberating at the same time, determines the construction of the architectural space.

The concept of belonging is based on the combination and fusion between gender and people, a topic that have always crossed the common space of our planet. This worldwide network of flows originates from a single place and unifies different ethnic groups, becoming indistinguishable, showing only single fragments that become part of a single concept, that of belonging.

Stefano Fake & The Fake Factory pay their tribute to the Italian national colors, which significantly coincide with the primary elements of digital video (Red-Green-Blue) and white, the result of additive synthesis. The generated immersive environment becomes a tribute to the revolutionary ideas expressed by the Futurists, who already wanted to leave the concept of framework and to expand to new “visions of light” putting the viewer at the center. As Lucio Fontana wrote in the 1948 manifesto of spatialism: "with the resources of modern technology, we will make appear in the sky: artificial forms, rainbows of wonder, luminous writings". Today, through immersive, digital and multimedia art experiences, this avant-garde dream has finally found its concrete realization.
